Group I Winner Virginia Waters to Be Bred to Giant's Causeway

English mile classic winner Virginia Waters has been retired from racing and is booked to leading second-crop sire Giant's Causeway.

Described as a "brilliant filly" by trainer Aidan O'Brien, Virginia Waters won this year's Ultimatepoker.com One Thousand Guineas (Eng-I) and the Dimitrova One Thousand Guineas Trial Stakes (Ire-III). Bred in Kentucky by Barnett Enterprises, she retired with three wins from a dozen starts and earnings of $582,725.

Giant's Causeway's 2006 book also includes French champion and dual classic winner Divine Proportions (Kingmambo--Myth to Reality, by Sadler's Wells) and English champion and group I winner Playful Act (Sadler's Wells--Magnificient Style, by Silver Hawk), both of whom will be bred for the first time.
